<Teaser> Custom work for Performance Bumper

RWolf10 · 01-11-2012, 01:28 PM

Picked up my new bumper last week and made a custom splitter over the weekend. Its now in LTBMW's hands for paint....so looking forward to it

Please forgive the crappy phone pic. I took it late at night after I finished up the splitter. What do you think?

Update: <01/25/2012>

LTBMW finished the paint work last week. They did an amazing job and their color match is dead on. Today, StarShield Armor wrapped the bumper in their clear film and threw in a few other wraps around the car for me. If anyone with a performance bumper needs it wrapped, they have trained installers around the country ready with templates. In fact, they were the first company to come out with the 1M template so all 1addicts should be covered

After final touch ups on the splitter, I decided to go with a black spray paint. Wrapping it in vinyl was a no go. Hopefully the plastic primer works as well as the guy at Lowe's advertised.

Official release of the finished product to follow. Heading to VMR's studio in Anaheim for a photo shoot with their new 18" V718s fitted.

Really like the performance front! Mind I ask, what are you doing with your stock? Also, are you painting splitter white/black?

He has it for sale

Nice performance bumper! Did you use some type of molding material to make your own front spoiler?

For Sale Thread

no molding material, just a thick high density plastic i cut to shape. i'll most likely vinyl wrap the splitter black or carbon like my roof.

ha ha couldnt see the lip on that txt pic u sent us. glad you went with Long.
cant wait to see the new front bumper and hopefully you do keep the euro plate on it RRS

RWolf10 · 01-11-2012, 04:57 PM

just got word that my sponsor Star Shield Armor wants to apply their clear bra film to this bumper too!

how long should i wait after paint till i clear bra it? LTBMW is using PPG's new eco friendly water based paint.

i figured, it was too hard to see on that txt. yeah, they do legit work. the euro plate is definitely staying! i've been running it for three years on my 1ers and no plans to stop now

taichi · 01-11-2012, 05:21 PM

definitely. the bumper itself looks great, don't get me wrong, but it needed a touch of something on the lip without the cost of $400 a piece.

Satalite · 01-12-2012, 12:25 AM

Wow!

I am sure the lip will add that touch needed.

GT1281 · 01-12-2012, 10:56 AM

Can't wait to see it done.

S54dan · 01-12-2012, 11:15 AM

Sweet project

escobar929 · 01-12-2012, 02:54 PM

i really like that, great idea

cant wait

Mr. Clarkson · 01-12-2012, 04:15 PM

I had this idea too. Decided that I'd just end up destroying the splitter the same way the bottom of my bumper is messed up now
